SAN DIEGO, June 22nd, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mario Godiva, a renowned fitness expert and Group Fitness Instructor, has filed a federal discrimination charge (charge number 488-2023-00143) against Equinox La Costa on December 22, 2022, and a federal inquiry (inquiry number 488-2023-00724) on May 18, 2023.

Key Points: 
  • "Equinox has employed me since around April 2010, and during that time, I have faced consistent deprioritization and unfair treatment despite my recognized talent," Godiva said.
  • One particularly egregious event occurred during a cycling class when Godiva was subjected to racial slurs from a member who used a derogatory term, he said.
  • "Their elitism and sense of superiority often lead to racist ideals that manifest in discriminatory behavior," Godiva said.
  • As the process continues, Godiva hopes others that have been the subject of discrimination at Equinox will come forward.
